The team have complained about new tabs on their Twitter profiles, lack of highlighted mentions and a confusing Twitter activity tab. It’s not surprising that the Radio 1 team have plenty to say about the changes to Twitter, as their account @ChrisMoylesShow has nearly half a million followers and is used to regularly update fans.

Changes to the social websites that we use for business can be frustrating.

It can be a full time job trying to keep up with all the changes.
